It's generally only possible to fix a problem where so much crud has accumulated under the keys that they no longer depress fully. In that situation, putting the laptop on its side and using a long bristled brush should dislodge whatever is in the way.
If gunge (or fluid) has got inside the switch assembly, there is not much you can do, as the switches themselves do not come apart. Then it's time for either a new or secondhand keyboard.0
